Stephanos is an Associate at JTP with over 13 years of experience delivering large-scale, residential led projects across the UK. With a background in structural engineering and a strong interest in all scales of the built environment, his portfolio spans strategic visioning and community engagement through to the preparation of detailed planning applications.

He is one of JTP’s in house specialists in Design Coding, with long-standing involvement in Urban&Civic’s major projects at Alconbury Weald and Houlton in Rugby. Working closely with clients, local authorities, and key stakeholders, Stephanos has served as Project Architect on brownfield and greenfield masterplans, developed Key Phase Design Codes, and subsequently implemented these principles through first phase Reserved Matters Applications. This rare continuity of experience provides him with deep insight into delivering exemplary new neighbourhoods through the master developer approach.

Stephanos also played a central role in St James’ project at Milton Keynes East, which will deliver up to 4,600 homes alongside employment, education, community facilities, and a significant green infrastructure network prioritising active travel. His work has included the site wide Design Code Framework, the Detailed Design Code for Phases 1 and 2, and the Reserved Matters Application for the first 197 homes.

More recently, he led the development of the Outline Planning Application and Detailed Design Code for The Crown Estate’s Feering project in Essex – a village extension providing new homes, education, employment, and community uses. The Crown Estate’s new Value Creation Framework is being embedded throughout the proposals, placing net zero carbon, thriving communities, and biodiversity at the forefront.

Stephanos is currently leading the masterplanning team for the post Outline Planning Approval stage of the new Garden Village in Dunton Hills, Essex, for Lands Improvement Holdings. His role involves coordinating multidisciplinary technical teams and ensuring that design quality is upheld through the delivery stages.
